Story
In the early 1970s, Omega started to develop a special outer case for the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch to protect it from the extreme temperatures of space. At that time, NASA was looking at exploring the dark side of the Moon and Omega wanted to be sure that the Speedmaster could function at the extreme temperatures.

Code-name ALASKA
"Alaska" was OMEGA’s chosen code-name for everything that involved NASA and was always deemed top-secret. To meet the demands of the extreme temperatures of space, the “Alaska I” prototype had a removable anodized aluminium
outer case or “thermal shield” and a pure titanium inner case making it the first wristwatch in the world to be cased in pure titanium. The white dial was added to better reflect the heat of the sun.
However NASA decided that the Speedmaster was perfect as it was so the Alaska Project Speedmaster remained a prototype.

Please Note
Authenticity
All watches are authentic with all original parts (including original untouched / un-repainted dial) unless specifically stated otherwise.
Size
Vintage watches are generally smaller than modern watches. Although our measurements are only approximates, they are a good indicator for the buyer to see if the smaller size will be an issue or not.
Servicing
If a watch is not specifically indicated as "Serviced", we do not have its service history and cannot guarantee its accuracy. We highly recommend it to be serviced by a watchmaker for regular use.
Accuracy
Accuracy indicated in the Condition section is only based on 12 hours timegrapher test in one position (movement up or dial up). This is just a reference to help buyer understands the condition of the movement. We cannot guarantee its actual accuracy, and in our experience real world performance will be different.
Original Accessory
Watch does not included original bracelet / strap / buckle / box / paper unless specifically stated.
